Corelli's Recondita armonia, and his approach to the Fs and Gs. He doesn't seem to turn these notes. Did he always sing this way

From the opening line, his Fs in Rcondita armonia, and the G in his 'e bruno Floria' is open. Most tenors seem to slightly turn these notes.

Is this a stylistic choice, or part of his technique. Pav, Giacomini, Bjorling, and lots of others seem to slightly turn their Fs and Gs.

Was this part of the Corelli sound? He seems to do this in the Flower song, too. I don't believe his mentor, Lauri-Volpi used this approach, but I could be mistaken.
